Bug

[MBS-8311] – Annotation field in the release editor does not mention licenses

Picard team is working hard on the upcoming 2.1.0 version, we decided to release a preliminary version for all to test and to let time for translators to work.

We’ll accept patches that actually fix current features until the final release which is planned in 2 weeks.

Translators can update translations on transifex as usual, strings shouldn’t change (but if we can’t avoid it) anymore until the final release.
It should be noted a new resource picard_appstream was added for the translation of appdata.xml file (PICARD-1424).

This version includes a lot of fixes related mostly to features added in 2.0.x, plus new features related to MusicBrainz changes (like genres support), tag compatibility with other apps, and file formats.
